Comment:

 g.mremove has a bug that disallows the use of brace expansions. E.g.,

 {{{
 g.mremove rast="{sanderson,brady}_dem"
 }}}
 would not work because the pattern is split by comma first and two
 wildcard expressions "{sanderson" and "brady}" are both invalid. Since
 each option takes multiple map names, it cannot be avoided.

 The attached g.mremove version addresses this issue and has the same
 interface as g.mlist (including exclude=, but except for mapset=,
 separator=, and output=, which are irrelevant). Please test it. I think we
 should push this version to trunk and possibly relbr7.

 The attached version works like:
 {{{
 g.mremove type=rast pattern="{sanderson,brady}_*"
 exclude="*_f{acc,dem},sanderson_fdir"

 g.mremove type=rast,vect pattern="brady_basin"
 }}}
